Hope On The Rocks

Brady was a baseball star
Til he struck out and took his car and drove away
Sissy lost her little boy
Hitch-hiked up to Illinois, so they say

Then it rained so hard that Mary tried
To take her life with suicide
And disappear just like the thunder
You ask around and no-one knows
Where they went or what they do
But you wonder, I know you wonder

Where do they go?
They come here
To drown in their sorrow and cry in their beer
Theyre in need of a mindbender
Im a bartender
At the end of the day
Im all theyve got
Hope on the rocks

Charlies wife filed for divorce
And Charlie bought a quarter horse and now he's ridin' fences,
Upside down and couldnt pay
They hauled Sue's mobile home away
And we aint seen her since
Larrys long time fiance
Got kicked out of the P.T.A.
And moved her kids back east with someone else
All and the ones you used to know
Dont drop in or say hello
But you ask yourself
I know you ask yourself

Where do they go?
They come here
To drown in their sorrow and cry in their beer
Theyre in need of a mindbender
Im a bartender
At the end of the day
Im all theyve got
Hope on the rocks

Where do they go?
They come here
To drown in their sorrow and cry in their beer
Theyre in need of a mindbender
Im a bartender
At the end of the day
Im all theyve got
Hope on the rocks
